Argh! At this rate, it sure feels like we won’t ever get to
start on our house! It is gorgeous outside today, but Wednesday through Saturday
at least promises more rain. So that means we most likely won’t be able to
start the basement, because it will be more like digging a pond than a
basement, and we already have a pond. So I must keep my patience in good
working order, I guess.
This past Saturday we went to the auction A’s grandparents
were having since they moved off their farm into town, and it went as well as
could be expected. A didn’t buy anything and he was a little disappointed about
that, but he FINALLY was able to sell his Mustang, which he has been trying to
sell off and on for the past few years. (And bonus, with the money from the
car, we will be able to pay off our truck! Which is a fantastic feeling.)
I ended up with an older rocking chair and a super rickety
little table that in its current condition probably isn’t worth the $2 we paid
for it. But I have big plans for it (thank you, HGTV!) to be taken apart and
put back together sturdily, then painting it turquoise to match my new front
door (when I manage to GET a new front door) and putting plants on it. It will
be fantastic. My rocking chair will be getting a new cushion and new fabric on the
back and seat and it will be a lovely addition to the new house as well I
believe.
Apparently, I’m not the most observant individual, though (I
know, shocker, right?), and this was brought home to me once again this
weekend. My mom and I perused the items left to be auctioned on Saturday just
to have something to do, and there were quite a few old kitchen cabinets and a
counter and sink that had been pulled from the basement. I remember distinctly
thinking as we walked by that they looked just like the cabinets we took out of
our house when we redid the kitchen.
Well…they looked like those cabinets…because they WERE those
cabinets. A and I had a pretty good laugh over that one – I had no idea that
was where the cabinets had ended up. I felt a little silly not recognizing them,
as they were the bane of my existence for a while.
